So how else should they decide the season-long champion?

I saw an article the other day about this and the writer went along the lines of the Americans love an end of season play off in their sports and apart from home field advantage or seeding there's no benefit in the playoffs for winning your regular season league.

Based on that he said that in his opinion the Tour Championship should start from scratch with everyone level and the winner getting the 15 million.

I don't necessarily agree with that (to be honest I'm not fussy how they do it) but it's one way.

There isn't a separate tournament any more - the Tour Championship is handicap (reverse handicap at that) - winner gets that and the Fedex Cup

I read that the true result, without starting handicaps, is used to allocate points for the Official World Golf rankings etc.
 
Well Played DJ, very impressive

Prefer the old format and a sunday finish but been some great golf this week all the same

Bring on Winged Foot and the US Open :)
 
Well, I find it difficult to be sympathetic with the contrived fed ex thingy being a bit of a damp squib (IMO).
Well done though.

Really good viewing last night, great win for DJ.
I really like Schauffele, will definitely be having a pint on him in the upcoming majors.

I won a few bob on Xander each way at the masters last time out.
Sadly, i suspect that this week's performance will make him less of a steal.
I have to say, having two majors left at this time of year is fantastic. Having them every few weeks in the summer is a bit rubbush.
The US fixation on the NFL means that it's unlikely to hapoen again any time soon.

I see that after a season of tournaments someone is leading as in a league.
Let that be it, the winner is now the Worlds #1.
The top 125 then qualify for the Fedex.
The. FedEx could be a competition for the $millions, as is at the moment, in terms of 125' then 70' then 30 .
Then the top 30 play for the money starting equal with no handicap.

The way it happened this week, it was a contest of the top 7 or 8.
Good golf, but didn't seem 100% right.

PS. Bloody red goddawful advert. Grrr

The Masters Sunday will be a bit different this year - it's scheduled to finish between 7pm and 7.45pm UK time to accommodate them showing American egg ball in the afternoon.
